Video card question

Ok some AGP cards are 4x AGP and soem are 8xAGP.....what does this mean? How do i find out what my AGP slot is? 4x or 8x?

How old is your comp? That's the answer, pretty much. AGP 8x is basically the 'cap' that AGP will reach before they make a new version.

But if i buy an AGP 8x and my slot is AGP 4x will it work?

The card will only run at 4x, but yes it will work.

how do i know what my slot is ?

What's your motherboard name? How old is the comp? Is it a premade comp with a brand and model name? I'll look it up.

MSI 845 Ultra motherboard.....

4X.

IS SDRAM or DDR better?

DDR blows SDRAM away.

which is better?

The yahoo thing won't work for me because it's based on cookies.

However, the Geforce 4 MX is *WORTHLESS* and should be AVOIDED at all costs. It's just a fancy Geforce 2.

I only have $30


my dad said he cant pay for it coz all his credit cards are topped :'( i hate being poor

thx anyway

Well I would just save money until you get at least $150. (And yeah I know what you mean. )
